Defiance (TV Series; 2013 - 2015)
Synopsis[]
In the year 2046, it's a new Earth - with new rules. Over thirty years after various alien races arrived on Earth, the landscape is completely altered, terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance, on what used to be St. Louis, comes the mysterious Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his adopted alien daughter, Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into town, events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace this border town has fought for.

Trivia[]
- Defiance is a collaboration between Syfy and Trion Worlds to create an integrated TV show/MMO video game experience. The events of the video game take place elsewhere in the US (the show takes place in Missouri whereas the video game takes place in California) and happen concurrently with the events of the show. The video game events provide additional context to the events of the show and vice versa. However, the show is perfectly understandable and enjoyable without playing the game.
- Trion Worlds' original Defiance video game (PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 / PC) is now defunct. It was superseded in mid-2018 by Defiance 2050 (PlayStation 4 / Xbox One / PC), an F2P (free-to-play) massively multiplayer online third-person shooter that reproduces much of the content of the original game but updated for modern video game platforms. Defiance 2050 also includes optional paid (freemium) features. The game can be downloaded for free from the PlayStation and Xbox online stores as well as from Trion Worlds' website.
- While full languages were created for the different alien races on the show, they are only rarely spoken. The various races have all lived in the US for a long enough period of time to have become fluent in English, and use English as a common language for the different aliens to communicate with the other alien races and with humans. This solves the common problem science fiction movies/TV shows have of explaining how aliens and humans are able to speak to each other. During the rare moments when the aliens speak in their native language(s), their words are subtitled for the viewer to understand.
- While the show is rated TV-14, a small number of more violent episodes from the third season are rated TV-MA.
- Music by noted TV composer Bear McCreary.
